Anyone know much about game cams?

I have been instructed by legal council to use one for surveillance recording on my property. Possible for court uses if the situation dictates. It is some distance from my house (40 miles). I see they have these where they are cellular powered, not sure what that means but I'm game.

I don't want it to be seen but don't want it stolen either. I will use it for animal uses afterward.

Any tips or ideas? I need to act on it in a couple days.

Arlo go camera by Verizon is the best i ever used. Great video day or night. Has alarm you can set off. You talk thru it. Only problem is cost is kinda high. But it really works.
Been using a taticam reveal.
Only $100 and working pretty good.
Takes decent pic. Using Verizon and service is good.
Had a bunch of spypoint cameras. I think 6 of them. Worked great for probably a year. But quit sending pictures to phone. Spent alot time doing update but no good. Sevral friend had same problem with them.

I can send you some video of bear footage taken with the arlo camera if you want. If it were really important that's the one I'd use.

Ditto on Spypoint issues. I have had three and none of them are worth a damn. Two never sent any pics at all--customer support/service was worthless. One worked for about nine months or so and then quit sending pictures. I have heard great things about the Spartans.

There's special security boxes that you can lag bolt to a tree. We had to use some for this type of work. I found if you put them above normal eye level people don't notice them (have to adjust so the camera is hitting where you want and that they'll go off where you need). I had good luck with normal Moultrie's with the SD cards.
Hope this helps and you get your problems taken care of.

I put one out semi obvious and then really hid one pointed at the first one. It worked.
